Abstract :
Agent-based modeling and simulation tools have been mainly focusing on creating standalone applications based on some client-server model. There has been little or no focus on developing support for easy adaptation and evolution of application data models and logics, support for integration and deployment on other types of enabling infrastructures such as mesh or mobile ad-hoc networks, or synthesis with other existing applications. To simultaneously address these issues we present our Common Hybrid Agent Platform (CHAP) as a means to create and sustain multi-agent systems as a part of the collective of humans and ICT systems. CHAP assets are presented and involve a general-purpose associative memory, a set of reusable AI modules, a re-configurable agent component deployment engine, and a toolset for data synchronization and visualization, all of which can be tuned and adapted to a particular application or business domain using diverse (enabling) ICT infrastructures.
